The Eye Shadow x 9: MAC Amber Times Nine palette includes…
PRICE: $40 (one of four $40 MAC Times Nine palettes)ĪVAILABILITY: Available now in the permanent collection at MAC counters, stores and online I haven’t used the other MAC Times Nine palettes yet, and I’ve still got high hopes for those, but I can’t recommend this one over one of the 15-pan palettes, like Cool Neutral or Warm Neutral, or the Nordstrom Naturals palette, despite all of them being considerably more expensive.
With so many other wonderful MAC shadows out there, is it worth the price and effort?įor me, I would say no. You can definitely get there, but do you want to? - that’s the question. Swatches from the left: MAC Cork, Don’t Tell, Aromatic and Pepper PleaseĪfter enough effort, I am able to build the colors up enough to see them on my lids, but it takes a lot of layers. Swatches from the left (for reference, I’m an NC42): MAC Cozy Grey, Kitties, Georgia Peach, Ricepaper and Creative Copper I swear they’re sheerer here, and harder, and require more passes with my 217 to blend. I have to layer and layer and layer some more to see them on my lids.Īnd the colors I know so well and love, like Cork and Ricepaper, are unlike the Cork and Ricepaper I’ve grown to love. Even the darker shades, which I expected to be more pigmented, apply disappointingly sheer. The hard-packed shadows feel like concrete in their pans, and I have a tough time picking them up with either a brush or my fingers. Seriously, what a letdown… I had so much trouble working with this palette. This was my first time using one of MAC’s Times Nines, and while I was hoping to achieve neutral shadow nirvana with Amber, I didn’t. Eye Shadow x 9: MAC Amber Times Nine gave me trouble…

The pans in these Times Nine palettes are smaller than regular full-size MAC eyeshadow pans (they’re about the size of my thumb, LOL!) and hold 0.02 ounces of powder, compared to 0.05 ounces in a standard $10 Pro Palette refill pan. In addition to Amber Times Nine, there’s also a Purple Times Nine palette, Navy Times Nine and a Burgundy Times Nine, but yesterday I played with Amber. When the four $40 MAC Eye Shadow x 9: Times Nine palettes launched a while back, it was with the more expensive $85 MAC Cool Neutral and Warm Neutral 15-pan palettes.

All this for $40, which I considered a steal based on all of the looks I saw myself doing with it.
